If you are driving something with twin turbos (///M) those are most likely the water to air intercoolers.

They are used to cool the intake air (air is heated when compressed by the turbos) before it is fed into the engine.

Just a thought,

Driving an X5 50i,,,they have the twin turbos, but the intercooler is inside the engine compartment hanging on each side of the intake. There are 2 of them and both are air-water,,,so these are not intercoolers,,,at least I don't think that they are........
